I had thought that the murder of Nick Berg required no commentary - so obvious was the depravity of the terrorists who killed him. I was sure that his pain, and that of his family, would be testimony enough to open the eyes of many in the world who did not understand who/what we are fighting and why.
I chose not to comment because I thought words were unnecessary.
Now comes the story of two 'shock jocks' playing the audio of that murder - accompanied by their jokes and laughter.
I have no comment because there are no words.

Is the era of the "shock jocks" over? Howard Stern, these guys and a few others aren't getting away with the level of "shock" as they did in the past -- have we all grown tired of their rantings and ravings and horrible statements?
I, for one, am.
